#I would say Evan just for fun you know but he's Reg's friend so it wouldn't work

[calamitoustide]

okay so Harry is Lily’s kid and James is his uncle and one day Lily’s in a bind and needs him to pick Harry up from daycare so of course he does it and he goes in and finds this… really hot dad. And his daughter is talking to Harry so James takes the chance to go talk to him. He learns his name is Regulus and is so obsessed with it as James always is and Reg points at Harry and asks if he’s his son. James being the idiot that he is says yes (he’s struggling). Also they look pretty much identical cause he was the sperm donor so it makes sense that Reg asks. James has been asked it before... but Reg is hot and he short circuited. They leave and agree that they should rearrange a play date… you know for the kids.

James has to keep asking Lily to borrow Harry to take him to these places and it’s this huge mess.

And Reg has to keep coming up with reasons to Pandora and Xeno why he always wants to take their daughter out places.

chaos ensues.

@jegulus-microfic / rank / 705 words / game of truth or dare goes wrong, or not?

“Trust me Sirius, you will regret this,” Regulus whispered in his brother’s ears as everyone around them cheered for the next game. 

“I’m your big brother, I will never regret embarrassing you.” Sirius took Regulus by the shoulders and made him sit on a chair in the middle of the circle. It was the first party where both Sirius’ group of friends and Regulus’ were hanging out, it was Dorcas and Marlene’s idea now that they were dating. 

“The game is really easy, you take a drop of veritaserum, and someone gets to ask a question. Got it?” Everyone around the room hummed in confirmation as Regulus drank his dose of the potion. His eyes met James’ across the room, his boyfriend tried to conceal his nervousness with a smile. If their friends were smarter, Regulus was sure they would’ve picked up on their relationship by now, without the need of a veritaserum. 

First, they went through the normal round of questions just to make sure that the potion was working. No more than three questions in and Sirius decided it was time for the actual fun.

“Do I actually embarrass you, Reggie?” Sirius teased, but he was clearly eager for the answer. 

“No, you’re my favorite person and I love you.” A round of loud ‘awwws’ echoed in the room. “Oh shut up, and just ask another question,” Regulus blurted out. 

He immediately regretted it as he saw Barty’s mind clearly plotting something. 

“Okay, I have one. Dear Regulus, would you be so kind as to rank your best kisses?”

“Ew! NO!” Sirius quickly protested. 

From the corner of his eye, Regulus could tell how the question made James' heart race. This was not how they had planned to tell everyone they were dating. 

“Shhh! I want to know,” Remus insisted.

“I don’t! Knowing you two kissed when you did perfect rounds together is all the information I need about the matter!” Sirius was hysterical. 

“Just answer the question Reg, start with the third place,” Barty instructed. 

Regulus tried to fight the truth, this truly was the last way he wanted his brother and friends to know he had been dating Gryffindor’s golden boy. He once again searched for James’ eyes, and James was already looking at him, so lovingly. His boyfriend mouthed the words ‘it’s okay’, so Regulus took a deep breath and answered. 

“Fine. Third place would be Evan.”

“Quite the kisser you are too, love.” Evan blew him a kiss in response and everyone started laughing and commenting. 

“Shhh, I want to know who is in second place,” Dorcas intercepted. 

“Sirius, don’t hate me,” Regulus said as he closed his eyes and fought once more the words that were about to come out. “Second one is Rem-”

“I’M LEAVING!” Sirius announced loudly as he got up. 

“Sirius, don’t be dramatic, don’t you want to know who is actually first?” Remus said, trying to distract him. 

“Don’t worry, it’s me,” Barty said with an immense amount of confidence. 

“Ugh, it couldn’t get worse I guess,” Sirius mumbled as he sat on Remus’ lap. “If you say James I will fucking kill you, Regulus.”

Regulus' eyes widened and a violent blush crept from his neck towards his cheeks, without thinking he snapped his head towards James who was the same shade of crimson as him. Fuck. His reaction had been too noticeable. Everyone around had caught it, especially Sirius. 

“Regulus! Say right now that James does not have the first place in your fucking kissing list!”

Silence. 

“He does…”

The room erupted in a million loud voices laughing, screaming and questions aimed at both him and James. 

When did this happen!? 

How am I not on your list!?

Are you dating!?

Or are you fucking!?

Regulus began feeling dizzy and overwhelmed, he got up the chair to try to breathe but felt his legs falter. He felt familiar hands, calloused hands, warm hands steady him. James.

“It’s okay, baby,” James assured him as his arms wrapped around Regulus’ waist. 

James’ voice brought him back to reality, he saw Sirius approaching and couldn’t help the words that left his mouth with a laugh, “I told you so.”

They never played with veritaserum again.

[bri-cheeses]

So I was just thinking… the Marauders Map.

They can obviously see everyone on that thing, right? And you know that James would get out the map just to look at Regulus and everything… so I’m thinking that one day, James is looking for Regulus, and his eye catches on Evan, who’s in an abandoned classroom. And he obviously knows that Evan is one of Reg’s friends, so he gets curious and lingers on him for a bit, wondering why he’s just waiting around in an empty room. Then he notices a dot making its way closer and closer, and it’s Barty, who enters the classroom and meets up with Evan and James is like: wow. Such good friends.

And if their dots are a little too close together, he doesn’t notice, his eye having already moved on to look for Regulus again. But it keeps happening, and James finally thinks it’s odd enough to ask Regulus about why Barty and Evan hang out together so much, just the two of them. And Regulus stops and stares at him and says very flatly: what.

And James explains that he keeps on seeing them on the map (the existence of which Regulus has been informed of by this point) in abandoned classrooms, their names practically overlapping. James still doesn’t think much of it, just slightly confused, but Regulus knows.

So Regulus gets up and leaves with nothing more than a “see you later” over his shoulder, then immediately confronts Barty and Evan in the dorms. Discreetly, though, subtly inquiring about their lives and if anything interesting’s happened, and oh, Barty, how’s that girl you were seeing for a while just a little bit ago? And while he’s doing this, he’s watching their reactions, seeing their shared glances and (on Evan’s part, when Reg brings up that girl) jealous expressions.

By the end of it, he’s sure that there’s something going on between them.

Reg nods along to something Evan is saying from where he’s perched much too comfortably on Barty’s bed, and when he finishes speaking, Reg finally says straight out, “Right. So tell me, when did you two start sleeping together?”

The stunned silence that follows is almost comical, Evan’s mouth dropping open in astonishment. Barty starts to double over in laughter, wheezing about how it only took a couple of weeks for Regulus to catch on and wow, Evs, isn’t that hilarious? Evan still looks horrified, but comes around once he realizes that this means Barty can come sit next to him, put his arm around him, and have it not be questioned.

Anyways, I just imagine the following conversation to be hilarious. Regulus doesn’t want to hear details, Barty is all too keen on sharing them, Evan very clearly does not want to be there—ugh. Pure amusement. Chef’s kiss, really.

Yeah, so I just think that the whole James-accidentally-outing-Evan-and-Barty-to-Regulus thing is a fun scenario to imagine

September 3rd - Dressed - 525 words - T (for suggestive kissing) - @rosekillermicrofic

Barty had been in agony the entire night. Certain people (Dorcas) would make fun of him for being absolutely, ridiculously in love, but honestly, with a boyfriend that looked like Evan did, who wouldn’t be?

They'd been planning to go to this club, just the two of them and their friends (Reg had wanted to bring James Potter of all people, and Barty wasn’t going to be a stick in the mud). So it wasn’t a surprise that all of them were going all out. Actually, it wasn’t ever a surprise when they went all out. Between Barty’s drama queen personality, Pandora’s weirdness, Dorcas’ rather eccentric fashion sense, and Evan just doing whatever the hell he wanted, Reg really was the only one normally dressed today. 

Barty barely registered all of their outfits as they walked into the club, where they’d decided they’d meet. But when Evan walked in-

When Evan walked in, he was knocked clear off his feet. His rose wasn’t ever not gorgeous, but his beautiful eyes and blonde curls paired with his cropped top-

Well. Let’s just say Barty was a weak man. 

It didn’t help that, in the eyes of their friends, they weren’t together yet. Evan and Barty had a little game. The first one smitten enough to reveal the secret to their friends forfeited bragging rights. 

Barty may have been a weak man, but he was also competitive.

An hour in, he was slightly regretting his decision to stick to the game. Evan’s hand landed on his hip as he laughed at something Pandora had said. Was it hot in here, or was it just him?

Two hours in, when Evan was swaying along to the beat with Pandora and Dorcas, his hair falling over his eyes, Barty was about ready to kick the bucket. Actually, he was ready to kick the bucket.

He left for the patio of the club.

It was nicer outside. Barty wasn’t usually one to stray away from a party, but today it was essential, what with his sodding gorgeous boyfriend and his beautiful body.

Maybe he was competitive, but he was still a weak man.

As he looked out at the stars, the door creaked behind him. Huh. That was weird.

He turned around, but before he could see who it was, the person - Evan - had him pressed against the wall, hands on his chest. When those heavenly, glossed up lips met his, he groaned, his hands landing on Evan’s waist to pull him flush against his body.

Evan broke the kiss with a whisper. “Fuck, Bat, you looked so heavenly.”

“That’s funny,” Barty said, pulling his rose into a deep kiss. “‘Cause I was about to ask if you were okay.”

“Huh?”

“You know- after you fell from heaven.” Barty pulled back just long enough to see the joke registering on Evan’s face. When it did, Evan let out a surprised laugh.

They realized their mistake a bit too late, their mouths and limbs mingling too close to pick apart.

“Barty?! Evan!?!” That was the voice of Pandora. Which means they’d been caught. Barty pulled apart from Evan, smirking.

“I win.”

truth or dare

synopsis y/n convinces the Skittles to play truth or dare. It's all fun and games until Reggie doesn't like your answers. He storms out and, when you go to confront him, he's forced to admit how he feels.

Word count 1309

note loosely based on a prompt I saw @sufferingstarlight write from.

warnings a little sad, angst, mention of death eaters/the dark mark, some swearing

pairing Regulus Black x reader (no pronouns I think? Although I was writing it thinking f! Reader)

I couldn’t believe I’d convinced all these pureblood wizards to play a muggle game. But there they were, all my friends, sitting around me and playing a game of truth or dare. Evan charmed a Hufflepuff girl into giving us some weed for free, and we’d smoked it outside before running giggling back to the Slytherin common room. The seventh years all left at the first sight of us. They probably knew we were in the mood to start some trouble. 

It was never hard to sneak Dora in anymore, although that probably had something to do with Regulus’ clout among our housemates for being a Black. Or maybe our housemates’ fear of him being a Death Eater. Either way, it worked out well for us. Dora was leaning against Reg, her long legs splayed in front of her. I was in a similar position, my top half leaning on Cas so she could play with my hair. It was the most euphoric feeling in the world to have her hands in my hair, especially when I was high. Evan was between Cas and Reg, while Barty sat between Dora’s and my feet. It was a good position, since I could give him a good kick whenever he said something stupid. With all that brain of his, one would expect him to say less dumb shit. 

I was just recovering from a fit of laughter at Evan’s last confession when Cas asked “y/n, truth or dare?”

“Hm,” I pretended to think. Normally I would love a good dare but, knowing Cas, she’d try to give me something she knew I’d struggle with. No one quite knew how to push my buttons like my best friend. “Truth this time.” I cracked my knuckles for effect. 

“Alrighttt.” I could feel the vibrations in her chest as she spoke. “If you could kiss any of the boys at school, who would it be?” 

My stomach dropped. Of course, she still had found a way to torture me. Oh, that girl was going to get jinxed later. She’d never be able to sleep safely in our room again. There was no way I could tell the truth. It would be painfully embarrassing to admit who I really, really wanted to kiss in this group. I wouldn’t live it down. Barty was wagging his eyebrows at me, and Evan looked equally interested in my answer. I was always so careful to keep who I liked close to my chest, though I suspected everyone already knew. I had to think of something before the length of time got way too suspicious. I let a glance fly over at Reg. Like always, he just stared at me, eyes blank, a slight furrow in his brow. I should say Sirius. Then maybe he’d actually react to me for once. Then maybe I’d know how he felt. Saying Potter might hurt him even more… But I couldn’t do something like that to him. 

“Uh, Remus, I guess.” I shrugged. 

Barty wrinkled his nose at that. “That boring friend of Sirius’?”

“He’s not boring,” I protested, “he’s… nice.” 

A scoff from Regulus. 

 I sat up straight, ready for a fight. “Is there something you want to say?”

“Nope.” Cocky asshole.

“Fine.” I crossed my arms. “Reggie: truth or dare?” 

“Truth.” His dark eyes were still blank but I could see tension in his lips. 

“Who in school would you kiss?”

He shook his head with a small laugh. “This muggle game is ridiculous.” 

All at once he was standing and stalking out of the common room with the haughty grace typical of all the Blacks. Pandora looked shocked when he disappeared from beside her and nearly fell over. Other than she and I, everyone gave a collective shrug. It wasn’t out of character for Reg to leave so abruptly, to get rumpled over nothing. But this time I hopped up from my spot as well. He couldn’t just leave like that. 

“Where are you going?” Evan asked. 

“I’m going to find that fucker.” I called back over my shoulder.

“Oh boy.” I could hear them all break out into laughter as I slammed the door behind me.

Regulus wasn’t hard to find. When I didn’t see him in the dungeons I knew where else to look. It was late in an October evening, and I had to wrap my arms around myself as I followed the edge of the Black Lake. There was no moon above, the only reflections cast on the water from the monolith of a castle behind me. So many days we’d spent out on the bank of the lake, on the side closest to the Forbidden Forest. There was nowhere else he’d go.

And there was Reg, pacing back and forth, his hands held out in front of him grasping the cold air. Strong hands. Piano hands. Writing hands. Hands I’d almost reached out for so, so many times. He appeared suspended in an argument with nothing.

I held my tongue until I was near, but had to speak when my presence wasn’t acknowledged. That close, I could finallyI see emotion on his face. Twisted up and white as a sheet. 

“Reg, tell me what’s going on.” My voice was soft, barely more than a rasp. 

“Nothing.” Still not a glance at me, though he’d stopped pacing. His chest was heaving as if he’d been yelling. “Go back inside, y/n.” 

He loved to give orders. As if anyone had any reason to obey him. 

“I’m not going anywhere.” The words flew out of me with a bite, and he looked up as if he’d been slapped. Maybe my tone was too close to his dreadful mother’s for comfort. But I couldn’t worry about that. We’d been playing pretend for too long. “Do you have a problem with Remus or do you have a problem with me?”

He scoffed again, his eyes up to the moonless sky. “You have no idea what I’ve got going on.” He always had to play superior. Always had to play prince. 

“Salazar, Regulus, I’m not a bloody idiot! Do you think that little of me?” 

He glared down at me, his eyes glistening. I took a step closer. The gap between us was so small I could feel his breath. 

“Either you’re jealous and you want me or you don’t and you’re the blood purity asshole Black family heir you want everyone to think you are. Just say which.” 

“Stop.” He shook his head at me.

“I’m already in. You can’t scare me away.” 

“Please stop.” Head still shaking. 

“I am in love with you, Regulus. I won’t take it back because it’s true and you can’t ignore it anymore.”  I could see the water welling in his lower lids. It was in mine, too. 

“We can’t,” he breathed. 

My hand, out of reflex more than anything else, lifted to his chin. I brushed my thumb along his bottom lip. He didn’t shy away from my touch like he had so many times before. 

“Please walk away.” There was so much desperation in those eyes. “Please.” 

“Why?”

He grasped his sleeve and wrenched it up. I didn’t have to look; I already knew. 

“If I have to take the mark myself, I will. Anything. Anything.”

“Fuck,” he sobbed, the tears finally falling. He let himself fall forward with them, our foreheads bumping against one another. 

“You love me.” I didn’t ask, but it was a question. A desperate question I’d asked myself about him a million times before. Does Regulus Black love me like I love him?

A nod that shook my own head with it. His red-rimmed eyes bore into me. “I love you.”

I moved my hands to cup his face on either side. “You never told me your answer.” 

And then I felt the softness of his lips on mine.

[myfavcharacterdidntdrown]

Another silly microfic I wrote cuz I’m boreddddd

“Ugh.” said Evan disgusted as he glared at Remus Lupin and Sirius Black making out in the middle of the hallway. “They’re so disgusting,” said Barty rolling his eyes.

“GET A BLOODY ROOM!” Evan yelled as they walked past them.

“You know they can’t do it in their dorm room right? And that means that they can’t get a room.”

“Huh? Why?” asked Evan turning his head to look at Barty questioningly.

“Potter is busy in their dorm shagging someone and he would actually be dead if Sirius found out.”

“How do you know that he’s shagging someone in their dorm room?”

“I don’t see Reg here.” he said shrugging. “What about you? Do you see him?”

Evan shook his head. “No…”

“Wait. Don’t change the subject.” Evan said fiercely.

“I’m not. I swear.” He threw his hands in the air like someone was holding a gun to his head.

“Oh you totally are, you piece of shit.”

“No…”

“Okay, then tell me how Potter shagging someone in his dorm and Reg not being here are con-“ He saw Evan’s face going completely white like Dumbledore’s beard. He wanted to take a mental picture of his expression. It was hilarious. “Oh…” he said as the realisation hit him.

“Yeah…”

“Why didn’t he tell me?”

“I don’t know man, he actually didn’t tell me either. I walked in on them-“

“Okay. Ew, no details please.”

“I wasn’t going to.”

“Whatever.”

They walked through the halls in silence. Until Barty suggested something.

“Do you want to listen to them?”

“Are you fucking crazy?” Evan snapped at him.

“Oh come on, it will be fun, I promise.”

Evan rolled his eyes. “Fine.”

Barty smirked. They made their way to the Gryffindor entrance and snuck in as the entrance was still open, after some Gryffindor students just entered.

They made their way to Potter’s dorm room. Evan put his ear on the door, trying to hear them. Barty did the same.

“Do you hear it?” Evan whispered.

“Hear what?” He whisper yelled.

“The noise of the bed shaking.”

Barty listened more carefully now and holy shit! He could hear the fucking bed shaking. Evan chuckled as they continued to listen.

“What in the name of Merlin are you two doing here?” Pandora suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They both jumped, surprised and shocked.

“Wh- what? Nothing.” said Evan.

“What are you doing here?” Barty hissed at her.

“I gave the notes I took at herbology to Lily because she couldn’t make it to class today. You still didn’t answer my question.” She raised an eyebrow at them as she crossed her arms.

“Well what do you want us to say? ‘We’re listening to our best friend getting shagged by stupid strut king Pottah’.”

Pandora looked at them in suspicion. Then her gaze softened and she smiled.

“Well, make some room for me then. I’m not missing this. Our best friend getting shagged by the Gryffindor quidditch captain. Hah. Who would’ve thought.”

She put her ear on the door to listen too. They listened for a few minutes till they heard someone moan something in French.

“That’s hot.” said Pandora.

“Pervert.”

“That’s your best friend, Pandora.” said Evan.

“I’m just checking on my best friend because I am concerned. He might get hurt. You never know” she said with a puppy face.

“Oh fuck off.” Evan chuckled.

The three of them lost balance as the door they were leaning on suddenly opened.

“Oh shit,” said Evan, almost falling.

Barty and Pandora couldn’t save themselves and fell on the floor, right on their stomachs. “Ouch,” he muttered. Barty looked up to see Regulus glaring at them.

“Seriously?” he asked them.

“Uhmm-“

“You know it’s not what you think, we were just checking on you.”

“Yeah since you’re on your period, I thought you’d like some cookies.” said Pandora as she stood up and lifted the snack she had in her hands suggestively.

“He’s on his period?!” Evan and Barty asked at the same time, looking at each other with an amused expression.

“Yeah…”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Dude I bet the bed is a fucking mess right now.”

“Like a crimson river or something. The poor bed.” Evan said as he laughed.

“The crimson night sky, a painting made by Regulus Arcturus Black.” Barty said laughing his ass off.

Regulus looked so pissed.

“We will talk about this later.” He said angrily as he walked off. The three of them continued laughing. James looked rather confused. He wasn’t really used to their weird shit yet. But he also looked kinda flustered because they all knew what they’ve been doing in the room.

Barty knew Regulus would be mad at them when they returned to their dorm but now he was just enjoying the funny moment with his friends. Yes it was kind of offensive and mean but hilarious at the same time. And yes he will apologise to Reg but take every chance he gets to rub it in his face.

[stupidstrawberrystars]

Okay! I have this fic idea. Wolfstar and Jegulus. Ready? 

So, Remus and Sirius have been on/off dating since Hogwarts. They’re currently off and have been for the last year, the longest break they’ve had so far. 

Regulus didn’t go to Hogwarts, and runs into Sirius one day at a cafe and they get to catching up. Regulus and James flirt but, despite prompting from Regulus, James won’t ask him out. 

So once the brothers are vibing, maybe a month after re-meeting, Sirius introduces Regulus to Remus and they hit it off. Platonic Moonwater is living it up.

And then Regulus decides to introduce his friends to his brother and the others. They get along alright(ish) but Remus really hits it off with everyone (mostly…)

So Remus starts hanging out with the Slytherin Skittles more often. 

Say like 2-3 months later and they’re all hanging out (Skittles and Remus) and Barty goes, “I’m the opposite of gullible, I never fall for your shit Regulus” after some conversation about Regulus’ tricks.

And it gives Regulus an idea. 

So later that night when they’re alone, Regulus comes to Remus with said idea. 

There’s a fancy social event happening in like two weeks that Regulus is invited too. And he’s got a plus one. So he suggests Remus and him go as a “couple“ to prank Barty. And Regulus isn’t supposed to know Barty will be there (you can thank Evan for telling him) so it’ll seem like Remus and Regulus are just trying to get away from everyone and be together in secret. 

Remus is in since he’s been finding Barty a bit annoying and wants to prove that he is gullible. Plus he’s doubting Sirius intent behind his recent flirting with Remus and he could use a fun night out to distract himself. 

So they go. They go and they trick Barty so fast it’s laughable… but Regulus has been weird all night. He keeps sneaking glances at the door to the big fancy room they’re in, and 30 minutes ago he asked Remus if it’d be alright if they kissed to fuck with his homophobic boss who’s here… except they still haven’t done it? And Regulus isn’t super touchy.

Just when Remus is about to ask what’s going on, Regulus turns to him and announces they must kiss. And they do.

It’s alright. Regulus makes some joke about Sirius’ pining making more sense now he knows what a good kisser Remus is. And Remus doesn’t even get to ask about the “pining” because from the other side of the room, a very familiar voice yells “WHAT THE FUCK?”

And then Sirius and James are stood in front of Remus and Regulus.  

Oh. That’s why he’s been watching the door. Regulus knew Barty would tell James, to be a pain, and that these two would come here and see their kiss and then, what? Beg for them back? 

Regulus played Remus. The genius.

Anyway, Sirius starts talking, contradicting himself every next sentences, going from saying he’s happy for them and doesn’t want to lose them, to calling them names and accusing Regulus of backstabbing him. Then he leaves. James whispers, “I should’ve asked sooner Reg. Taken my head out my arse. I’m sorry.” And follows Sirius. Clearly Barty told them what they told him. They’ve “been together” for two months.  James and Sirius both thought him and Regulus were an actual real couple. 

Remus freezes for a moment but then he heads to the exit to follow them, Regulus close behind. And Remus shoots him a look. An annoyed one.

So they get outside and before Sirius and James can get in a taxi, Reg yells “WE’RE NOT DATING YOU DICKS!” 

Sirius turns around and silently walks over to Regulus with the most murderous look on his face. And whispers “What?”

Then Remus decides to interject, “We’re not dating. For the record though, we could. You two have been fucking hopeless at communicating with us. Hell, we’ve been broken up over a year Sirius.”

And Sirius turns to Remus, and with a slightly raised but wobbly voice, he answers, “We’ve been on and off again since we started dating Remus. We weren’t supposed to end on OFF. I still have the fucking ring I was going to give you before you broke up with me, it’s in the corner of my room. And while you’ve been kissing my brother, I’ve been planning a big gesture to ask you out again for months. Fuck, I was going to do it next week. The anniversary of when we met.” 

(btw Remus broke up with Sirius but because Sirius was pulling away and they weren’t talking. They’re at equal fault but where Remus has been trying to talk, Sirius has been brushing it off and just flirting). 

But long story short, Remus kisses Sirius and they’re all happy again. Oh and they agree to get some couples therapy. Cause that’s always important. 

Then James makes his cutesy speech, going all, “I should’ve gotten over myself sooner” and “I wanted to make it perfect” and “I thought maybe you didn’t actually like me and just liked out flirting thingy” and, after some torture from Regulus, pretending to say no, they hook up too.

And everyone’s happy :)

Lay All Your Love On Me – Jegulus

summary: regulus gets drunk at a party and confess his feelings to james at a karaoke

warnings: underage driking, sexual talk and mentions of sex (but no actual sex). i guess that's all

word count: 2k

notes: just a random thought i had while listening to abba and got carried away. as always, sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language and i hope you like it :)

Regulus was not happy to be present at a Gryffindor party, to be honest there were methods of torture he would enjoy more. Being surrounded by happy and loud people was like living hell but if there's one thing Regulus would do, it was walk through hell for those he loved, so there he was: at a noisy and sweaty Gryffindor party, because Dorcas asked him to.

There were not a lot of people who he loved, but Dorcas Meadowes was certainly one of them. She had been dating Marlene for a while now and thought it was a good idea to bring their groups together, so now they all had to go to the same idiot party, because apparently it was a really fun idea. Regulus couldn't disagree more, infact, it took a really long time for her, Barty and Evan to convince him of going, but again, he would do a lot for his friends so eventually he said yes.

"Think about the pros of being here, Reg" Dorcas said to him "You can watch James for a whole night or maybe more than just watch this time"

"I really hate that I told you about that" he rolled his eyes as if his crush weren't obvious for everyone who knew him.

"Stop being so grumpy" she protest while grabbing his arms "C'mon, let's get you a drink"

"Fine, guess I'll need it to survive this night anyway" Regulus followed her.

He was already on his third drink when he decided to lean against the wall to avoid being so surrounded by the amount of people who seemed to not know what personal space was. He knew it was a party, but do people really need to be that close to each other?

And that was when their eyes met.

James was charming, to say the least, because Regulus thought much more of him. He thought about the way those stupid Gryffindor colors seemed to light James' skin or about the way he desperately wanted to crave his fingers on his strong arms or how it felt to kiss his lips. There was so much Regulus thought about doing with James that he even felt ridiculous about it.

Sure, he knew James was always full of himself and acting like he was a damn king, which was kind of annoying sometimes but oh...to Regulus he really was a king and how he would give to be ruled by him.

"You know..." Barty started saying, catching Regulus, who didn't even noticed when he got there, by surprise "you don't need to just keep staring"

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"We are all friends now and well, you and Potter had already talked a lot of times"

It was almost funny to him how his friends thought this was simple, sure they talked a few times but it was just some casual chatting because Regulus knew how to be polite when he wanted to and they were all really trying to have a good relationship so that’s not like he was going to ignore James when they bumped into each other but it was not that easy, what was he supposed to do? Go out there and simply declare he was obsessed with the idea of kissing him?

"I'm not talking to him" was what he answered.

"Well, too bad for you cause he is coming that way, and must I add, he does look hot"

Regulus knew that Barty said that last sentence in the kindest and friendliest way possible, he had absolutely no reason to worry or be jealous of him because he knew his best friend was crazy about his boyfriend Evan, but still he felt like jealousy was eating him alive because even though Barty wouldn't try to steal James from him anyone else could, and the thought of someone getting near those muscles and that flirty smile that were supposed to be his was driving him crazy.

“Enjoying the party?” James kindly asked when he approached him.

“Yeah, sure” Regulus said, taking a sip of his drink.

“You don't talk much, do you Black?” his last name looked incredible on those lips, it felt like James had just resignified it, and Regulus could kill to hear him saying it again but with a raspy voice and in bed this time.

“I guess not” he was actually feeling a little shy which was weird because he never felt like that.

“Well, you should because I like talking to you” and when he said that he sounded kinda flirty so Regulus was probably imagining things, right?

“Ok.. so what do you wanna talk about?” oh he was failing so miserably at this it felt embarrassing.

“What music do you like?”

“Classic ones that I can play on piano” he thought he was imagining things when he saw James looking at his hands but then he answered like it was a really normal thing to say.

“You play piano? That’s nice and what else do those pretty hands do?”

Regulus almost choked on his drink.

Those words sounded so dirty in his ears that he felt his entire body shiver, and who knew James Potter was that naughty? And what did that meant? Because Regulus knew that James and his friends flirted as a joke so was that a joke? Was that James' way of showing they were now friends? Or was this his way of showing that they could be more? That he also wanted to feel Regulus' hands exploring his body like the temple it was? Because Regulus sure wanted that but how would he know what James meant if he didn't have the balls to ask?

“Guess you have to find out” he said with all the courage he had inside of, trying his best to sound sexy but at the same time like it could be a joke so this way he could play safe.

James' eyes went from Regulus’ eyes to his hands and then stopped a little on his mouth before going back to meet his eyes again and Regulus swore he saw lust on them. He knew that boy was going to be the end of him.

“Do you have someone?” James asked as he gently ran his finger over the open space in Regulus' shirt upon his chest. But Regulus Black couldn't give in like that, it would be so pathetic of him.

“What do you mean?” Regulus said trying to act normal with what was happening.

“Well, all your best friends are dating and I noticed that you sometimes escape in the middle of the night but I’ve never really seen you with someone else so I was wondering” he explained.

“Oh…no, I'm only committed to smoking.” he kinda laughed and James thought that might be sexy to watch, but he kept that to himself which was a shame because Regulus would love to have heard that.

“I'm not seeing anyone either and in case you want to know ABBA’s my favorite band” and with that he left, leaving Regulus with a smirk.

How could he do that and why would Regulus give a fuck about ABBA right now? James was torturing him and it was definitely not in the way he wanted him to.

He was about to go nuts because he has just flirted with James fucking Potter but then was left behind like it meant nothing and feeling completely out of system while James was already having fun with a group of boys who Regulus recognised some from quidditch.

“I may or may not have overheard a few things and I think you might need this” Barty said, giving him a glass of firewhisky which he thanked and quickly asked for more.

“C'mon Regulus” said Evan “you can't just keeping getting drunk without doing nothing about it, the boy clearly wants you”

“And why hasn't he said that or made a fucking move himself?”

“Because you can be scary as fuck, Black” Barty added “and if even I think that imagine the smiley little Potter”

“I bet there's nothing little about him” he thought out loud.

“For fuck sakes Regulus, go find out” Barty sounded impatient.

But how would he even do that? James was surrounded by his teammates and Regulus was not going to get there and take him by his shirt, kissing him in the middle of everyone. Although he would really like that. So while he took another shot of firewhisky he decided to do what anyone else would (except that he was fucking drunk by now and no one else would do that).

He went to the middle of the party and took the microphone that Marlene and Remus had just finished using and got on top of a table so he could be sure James was looking at him. And with all eyes on him Regulus mentally thanked for all the times his own friends and brother danced to ABBA and started to sing and as weird as it seems he felt like the lyrics were written by him.

"I wasn't jealous before we met, now every man that I see is a potential threat. And I'm possessive, it isn't nice, you've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice. But now it isn't true, now everything is new and all I've learned, has overturned, I beg of you. Don't go wasting your emotion...Lay all your love on me"

Even though his body couldn't move not even a little bit, Regulus sang all the words like he was meaning them with all his truth and James seemed to get that because since he got on that table the boy couldn't take his eyes of him and he was looking with such an adoration, loving every single second of it that Regulus felt embraced by confidence and desire.

"It was like shooting a sitting duck, a little small talk, a smile, and baby, I was stuck. I still don't know what you've done with me, a grown-up man* should never fall so easily. I feel a kind of fear, when I don't have you near. Unsatisfied. I skip my pride. I beg you dear. Don't go wasting your emotion. Lay all your love on me. Don't go sharing your devotion...Lay all your love on me."

By that time James was already jumping on the table to sing with him and Regulus felt like he was confessing everything he ever wanted though the music. Because that was it, he didn't want James to share his devotion, he wanted to be worshiped by him every day, to have the word "mine" being said by James' lips and to be the one to whom he would give all his dirty looks. He wanted the lust and he wanted the love and he wanted this to be with James because there was no other man who could light a dark room with his smile.

When the song ended James had his hands on each side of Regulus' waist, their face just inches from touching and everyone in the room was a mix of shock and applause.

“So what was that about?” James asked softly.

“I guess it was my way of telling you that I really want you to find out what else my pretty hands can do” he said loud enough for only James to hear.

“Can I kiss you first?” one of his hands was now holding Regulus' face.

“In front of everyone? Are you crazy?”

“You were the one who told me to lay all my love on you and blah blah blah…so can I?”

In Regulus defense his was drunk as hell and there's only so far a man can handle, when it came to James that wasn't much because he felt like he was already melting on his hand, so Regulus counted on everyone else to be as drunk as he was to not care about it that much and nodded in a yes.

And when James' lips touched his he felt like all the embarrassment he had just passed was worth it. He would do it all over again if he needed to because for James there was nothing Regulus wouldn't do.

To wipe the tears in your eyes

This is my last fic for @marauderswithpalestineproject! Enjoy!

Word count: around 2.5k

Warnings: Some angst, some swearing, that's it.

“Okay, ew, you two, get a room, that’s disgusting!”

Barty grinned at Regulus and continued to kiss- no, eat his boyfriend’s face. Evan was flustered, to the point where Reg could practically feel the heat radiating from where the boy was sitting, directly to his left. He tried to say something, but Barty quickly shut him up with more kisses. It had been over a week since they’d made amends from their last argument, and Reg couldn’t really explain why they were still behaving like that, but alas.

He turned around, his apple pie still untouched, and came face to face with Pandora, who was basically inhaling her fish and chips. Flowers had started to bloom on the grounds all around Hogwarts, so a variety of them was already decorating her hair, tucked in between the braids. He could never bring himself to learn how Dorcas made them, no matter how many times she’d showed him.

He waited until his friend swallowed, and then spoke.

“Hey, Dora, are you doing anything after lunch? I’ve finished all my homework so I was hoping we could hang out?...”

He prayed he didn’t sound as desperate as he thought he did, for the truth was that Regulus Black, was indeed, that desperate. His friends had been ignoring him for the past few weeks. With Barty and Evan constantly fighting and making up (and out) with eachother, and Dorcas being too busy studying for her N.E.W.T.S., the only person who was still available was Pandora. Reg would love to admit that Dora was perfect, but she had recently developed the nasty habit of hanging out with Gryffindors. To be fair, one Gryffindor in particular.

James Fleamont Potter.

He dreaded to hear those words, yet Dora’s lips showed no mercy as she politely refused.

“I’m afraid I cannot join you today, Reggie. James has invited me to the Gryffindor tower, and there are those amazing tapestries around there, I could get lost in the patterns for hours... I wouldn’t miss a chance to see them again. Plus his friends will be there this time, and I just love meeting new people...”

“Oh.”

Of course she wouldn’t. He didn’t blame her, he just wished she’d never met Potter that wretched evening in detention. He remembered it very well. How Dora had wandered off again, picking flowers, and ended up near Hogsmeade, where professor Slughorn saw her and brought her back to the school. He didn’t know why Potter was in detention that time though. Maybe he’d beaten someone up again. That prick loved to show off his strength at all times. That was all he was. Muscles and puns and smiles. Shallow.

“...Reg? Regulus? Are you okay? If you need it I can stay here, I don’t have to go to t-” the girl sounded alarmed, real concern painting her voice.

“No, Dora, it’s fine. Go have fun okay? I’ll be fine.” He got up.

“A-Are you sure? It’s no problem, after all...”

“No, I’m perfectly fine, just zoned out for a bit.”

He glanced at Barty and Evan, who were still making out. Regulus sighed.

“Won’t you finish your food at least?”

“No, I’m not really hungry.” He looked at the Gryffindor table, where the so called Marauders were making a mess with their meals and shouting happily. If only he was still in good terms with Sirius... But life wouldn’t continue based on ‘ifs’. He turned around and walked out of the dining room, quickening his steps as he reached his dorm room.

Still. What if things had turned out differently. What if he had ran away when Sirius did. Maybe he could be at their table, laughing again. Like when he was a little kid and Sirius would make funny faces to cheer him up after Mother had left them without food for the night once more. He could see the disappointment in her eyes. It was engraved in his memory, just like it was in Sirius’s too. He was sure of it. No, he decided. He couldn’t have ran away with his brother. Walburga would always find him. That phrase was a threat, a curse falling on his head, and he was pretty sure he’d never be free of it.

Had she been any other mother, that would have been encouraging, something she’d say to him to comfort him.

He crushed on his bed.

He’d heard Sirius talk about Potter’s mother, Eudora, was it? Maybe Eugenia? Euphemia? That was it. Euphemia. Euphemia Potter. The mother who, according to his brother, everyone should have. He’d dreamt of living with a loving mother. Foolish dreams of a foolish child, they were. Yet the hope still remained. Hope was a hard thing to kill. Maybe the hardest of all things.

Two weeks later

Reg was walking around in the school grounds. It was a habit he had adopted since Pandora had started spending more and more time with the Gryffindors, leaving him completely and utterly alone. Barty and Evan had had a fight earlier, something about socks... To be frank, Regulus thought that they were slowly becoming really annoying. Or maybe the blood boiling in his veins was speaking.

He’d fallen asleep, on one of the common room’s couches, only to find out that a bunch of Gryffindors - including Potter and Sirius - had snuck in with Pandora’s help, when he woke up. He tried not to upset Dora, after all, entrance in other Houses’ common rooms was not a rare “currency” in the school. She was probably just returning a favor.

Seeing the Marauders and especially Potter again though, he couldn’t help but get mad. He knew the other Slytherins were too, but no one would risk missing one of the Gryffindor parties just because of a visit. At least that was how Narcissa had put it.

He had stormed out of the common room in a blur, but not before he heard Potter whisper to Sirius something along the lines of “What’s wrong with him?”

By now he had nearly reached the lake. The weather had worsened the past days, going from warm and sunny until at least noon to a grey sky, threatening to fall apart and drench them with its rain.

He walked closer to the water. From afar, it looked like a pool of metal, perfectly still, reflecting its surroundings down to the last detail. Now that Regulus could get a closer look, he noticed how murky its bottom was, probably because of the mud the giant squid was moving around, as it lived its life without worrying about social interactions.

He picked up a stone, round and gray, and threw it sideways into the lake. He remembered, back in fourth year, when he, Dora, Evan, Barty and Dorcas had decided to spend the day right at that spot. He’d seen Barty skipping stones, and had demanded asked him to teach him how to. He was actually quite good at it, after all, though he wasn’t able to practice very often.

The stone hopped on the water, one, two, three, four times, creating round wrinkles in the still water before disappearing under the surface. He skipped a few more stones, but had to stop once the squid surfaced. There had been cases where it had actually caught and thrown the stones back to students who had initially tossed them in the past, and he wouldn’t risk it.

Regulus heard someone approaching, but didn’t turn around. It was probably someone like him, someone that wanted to spend some alone time. If they got annoying or disturbed him, he could always just leave.

The footsteps stopped, and a person stood right beside him.

“I knew I’d find you here.” Pandora said.

“Hello, Dora. Why aren’t you in the dungeons?”

“Oh, I didn’t see you there and I went out to look for you actually...” She gave him a gentle smile.

“You didn’t have to do that, I know how much fun you have with the Gryffindors. You can still go back.” He was grateful she had thought of him, but at that moment, he needed his time.

“I don’t want to go back. We need to talk.”

It was rare for Pandora to be that serious, so Regulus waited and listened to what she had to say.

“I know you’re upset. You’ve been avoiding me for the past few weeks. Barty and Evan say the same. Now, I don’t know why this is happening, but I’m here for whatever you need and I’m willing to do anything to fix it, and I’m sure that the same applies to the others too. So if you please could tell me the reason you’ve been so distant...”

Regulus felt tears gathering in his eyes, and blinked them away. How could she be so clueless? How could they all be?

"I don't want to talk about it."

"But I just want to help and-"

"I said I don't want to talk about it okay?"

"But-"

Anger erupted through him.

"Just shut up, Pandora! Shut up for once! How can you- How can you all just ignore me all this time? Do I even mean anything? Because you can't parade around chatting and laughing with Gryffindors one day and talk to me the other! It's not fair, do you understand? It's not fair to me!"

He could see tears appearing in her eyes as well now, but he didn't care.

"You became fucking best friends with goddamned James Potter! How is this fair? You know the consequences of me being even in the danger room with all them Gryffindors and yet you still invite me over? Do you even care about me at all? Was it all an act?"

He felt like he could continue for hours, but stopped when he heard almost inaudible sobs coming out from his friend's mouth.

Pandora got up and ran away, three flowers in her hair slowly falling on the ground behind her.

Then the realisation of what he'd said washed over him, crushing him in a huge wave of guilt. He contemplated running after her, apologising, falling on his knees until she forgave him. It was his last chance to not be alone and he had just thrown it away so stupidly. He turned around, but did none of that.

Regulus stayed there for a good two hours, doing whatever, walking around or talking to himself. He may have screamed his lungs out a few times. He just prayed no one was actually close enough to hear him. Deep down he hoped Pandora would return, help him sort things out, or just sit there even, her mere presence would be enough.

That didn’t happen. And as the hours passed, more and more clouds gathered in the sky, resulting in a heavy rain. He decided to head back, but took his time while he did so. He never minded the rain, he had found out that there was something poetic in being soaked in the thing most important for life to exist, yet if you overdid it, it would result to sickness, even death.

He shivered as he entered the castle through the gates, just in time before Filch closed them completely. The man gave him a nasty look but didn’t dare to say anything. The warmth of Hogwarts was welcoming, surrounding him like an embrace.

He took a turn and headed to the dungeons, and then another, when he bumped into someone.

“Excuse me.” He didn’t have time for apologies. He looked up to the person that was still blocking his way. “I said ex-”

“Oh, no, mate you’re not going anywhere. Not after whatever you did to Pandora. We need to talk.” James Potter said, looking down on him through his glasses.

Regulus felt anger bubble through him once more that night. He was pretty sure he was red as a tomato, but didn’t care. How dare he, James Potter, demand anything from him. He even had the nerve to ask about Dora- as if he cared. He would stand his ground.

“Go on, what do you have to say to me? Let’s see how much your little brain can comprehend of human emotions and interactions.” He made sure he sounded as petty as he could.

James huffed. “I saw Pandora at the library about an hour ago. She was crying. Only thing I could get out of her mouth was your name. Care to explain?” he crossed his arms and leaned to the wall.

“And why would you care about Pandora anyway?”

“Well, shouldn’t I? She’s my friend, something I have began to doubt about you.” Damn it, he was good at this game.

“It’s my business, not yours.”

“Oh hell no, we’re not going anywhere until we have this sorted out.

“Come on now” Regulus said “don’t pretend you don’t hang out with her only to have access to the dungeons and Slytherin parties.” A smug grin had started to form on his face,

That seemed to affect the other boy more than anything he’d said before. “I- I wouldn’t do that...”

“Like hell you wouldn’t. Stop pretending, Potter. Or don’t. Maybe that’s the only thing you can do well after all. Pretend. That’s what you are! A fake.” He let it all flow out, his voice gradually raising to the point he was yelling.

James did the same, though. “This is NOT about me! It’s YOUR fault that Pandora has been crying for the past hour, maybe more!” Regulus flinched. “So stop acting like you’re innocent! Not everything is about yourself! And stop ruining people’s lives by doing that! You had better go talk to Pandora, or I don’t know what will happen!”

Tears had started forming in Regulus’s eyes, but this time he let them flow freely.

“You don’t know shit! You don’t know how it is to be ignored by everyone for days straight, for people to actually hate you! You haven’t lost ANYTHING! So before you start talking, maybe you should actually think what someone has been going through BEFORE YOU START MAKING ACCUSATIONS!”

James seemed to be taken aback by his outrage, and spoke in a calmer voice, rubbing the back of his neck. “Still, that doesn’t make any difference. You shouldn’t-”

“Shut up.”

“No, I won’t shut up, Regulus! Why won’t you shut-”

Hearing his name coming out of James’s lips, something snapped inside of Regulus. He launched forward, grabbing the other boy’s face with both his hands and kissing him roughly on the lips, before pulling away.

He turned around to leave, he would process the atrocious action he’d just done later. He felt a hand in his, and James pinning him to the castle wall in a blur.

“You won’t get away so easily after that.” James loomed over Regulus, and for one moment the shorter boy thought he was going to hit me, but then the bittersweet taste of James’s lips on his took all his thoughts away. They held on each other as they kissed for what felt like hours. Regulus couldn’t understand what was happening, whether it was right or not, the only think that mattered was the boy hugging him like no one had ever before.

“You still have to talk to Pandora, you know” James mumbled, but his smile could be seen, even in the rush they both were in.

Three months later

Regulus was laying beside his boyfriend, or rather on top of him, as when James had realised how touch starved the boy was, he had insisted on them cuddling with every chance the got. Euphemia’s voice suddenly broke the silence.

“Boys, it’s time for dinner!”

James got up from his bed, kissed him and grinned. “You know, you were right. I got something more from hanging out with Pandora... The best prize ever.” He leaned in and kissed Regulus once more.

lil nothing happens snippet bc the first three parts are gonna be posted this month <3 and bc i have so much fun writing this au <3

“Reggie, I swear to god, if those two weirdos aren’t here in the next five minutes I’m gonna—” Sirius begins, sounding a bit less playful and a lot more irritated.  “There you are, Reg,” a sweet voice interrupts, and James raises his head just in time to catch Pandora walking towards them, Evan following close behind, headphones already in place. “We thought you had already left.” Regulus does turn around this time, wanting to face his friends, which nearly drags a protest out of James, especially because his hands leave his hair, and he stops the soft caresses that had almost managed to lure him to sleep. But since Regulus doesn’t move away from him, his arms still securely wrapped around his waist, he keeps all his whines at bay. “I said I’d wait,” Regulus retorts, like that’s all the argument he needs. And honestly, it kinda is, considering how seriously he takes even the silliest of promises. “Still.” Pandora shrugs, and Evan just blinks slowly at him, gaze empty. If James didn’t know any better, he’d swear he isn’t even listening. “We know your brother can get a little impatient, and we got delayed because Slughorn wanted to talk to Evan.” Sirius clicks his tongue, obviously annoyed, and James isn’t sure if it’s due to Pandora’s comment or to the twins’ presence in general.  The noise seems to catch Pandora’s attention, who tilts her head to finally acknowledge Sirius, giving him a wide smile that isn’t reciprocated. The gesture looks kind, and genuine, and would probably convince anyone that isn’t aware of how deeply Sirius and Pandora dislike each other.  “Sirius,” she says with a tiny nod, her voice pleasing but cold. Almost disdainful.  His best friend only responds by baring his teeth, and Pandora’s grin seems to become even wider.

@jegulus-microfic, June 20th - Constellation, T, Word Count - 457

The night went on for way longer than either of the boys expected. Evan had invited them out for some drinks and dancing but when they got to the club, Regulus may have overdone it with the drinks.

James called them a taxi to bring them back to their apartment. So the two boys were currently sitting with each other in the backseat. A mostly sober James trying to entertain a very drunk Regulus.

"Jamie?" Regulus asks, looking up to his boyfriend from where he had decided to rest his head on James’ shoulder.

"Yes Reg?"

"You're really pretty," the younger boy slurs, a massive grin on his face. He taps James on the nose, emphasizing his words.

"Am I?" James asks. A quick way to carry on the conversation without having to participate that much.

"Mhm. Prettiest boy I've ever seen.”

“Why’s that?”

“Hmm…” Regulus thinks. “I don’t know if I can say…”

So instead Regulus shows him.

He taps James’ nose again. “Because of this—” he taps James’ ears, “—this—” he taps his eyelids.

James sits there, smiling at his boyfriend’s antics as he continues to point out features. His neck, his shoulders, the freckles on his cheeks, and nearly every other part of his upper body.

After a touch above James' heart, Regulus backs away, a concentrated look on his face. “I think I missed one.”

“Did you?” James asks, knowing Regulus is up to something.

“Mhm,” he leans forward and kisses James. Nothing more than just a light peck. “And this one.”

“Get them all now?” James smiles.

Regulus nods, the same smile from earlier on his face. They sit in silence for a little while, Regulus stares out the window as the driver continues to bring them home. James notices him falling asleep though, he checks how close they are to home and decides that it'll be easier to get him inside if he doesn't fall asleep now.

“Did you have fun tonight?” James asks, starting up a new conversation to hopefully keep the other awake.

Regulus looks over towards James. "A lot. I like that you get along with my friends."

That was something James had worried about too. He knows how special Regulus' friends are to him, and it would break his heart of they didn't like him. Seeing how well they all got along tonight though? James is sure everything's fine between them.

James recognises the soft touch of Regulus' hands on his arms. He looks down as watches as the boy traces constellations out of the freckles. Something the other boy does to help James calm down.

"We're almost there Regulus." The younger boy lets out a hum of acknowledgement. James can only hope Regulus doesn't fall asleep.

Regulus: and Barty is the worst gossip you'll ever meet-

Evan: why are we talking about Barty?

Regulus & Remus in unison: nothing!

Evan: i- what the hell?

Dorcas: Evan what is a furry little problem?

Evan: im sorry?

Remus: Rosier where the fuck is Barty

Evan: why does everyone always expect me to know what hes doing?

Regulus: so you don't know?

Evan: nah he's in the common room, but still!

Regulus: okay, ill go have a nice chat with him

Remus: thanks Reg

*Regulus leaves*

Evan: you and Barty hooking up or something?

Remus: what? no-

Dorcas: Lupin's too busy banging Reg's brother

Evan: ah, right, havent caught up on the recent gryffindor drama, you and mckinnon still having a lovers quarrel?

Dorcas: lovers- What?!

Evan: right you haven't realized you like like her yet, sorry, so much drama with those lions honestly

Remus: excuse me, i'm right here

Evan: yeah but technically you're a wolf, so

Remus, pulling out his wand: what did you just say? who told you?

Evan: oi! i found out on my own! i'm not as stupid as some of you people think i am, plus Barty's also known for ages,

Remus: HE HAS?!

Evan: well technically all of us besides Cas and Pandora, I know that Reg knows, but that one was pretty obvious

Dorcas: what the hell are we talking about?!

Remus: none of your business

Dorcas: damn

Evan: don't worry, we haven't told anyone! that would be cruel

Remus: and you and Barty aren't cruel?

Evan: you wound me, Lupin

Remus: Rosier, please

Evan, whispering: cross my heart, mate. honestly it doesn't seem to benefit anyone to know, but id suggest you tell your friends to stop talking so loudly, we know about their animagi, and when Reg finds out his boyfriend and brother are doing stupid shit like that he'll lose it.

Remus: fucking hell-

Barty: alright, whats the fuss about, why is Reggie pissy and why'd he threaten me

Evan: Bee, Lupin thinks you're gonna tell people about his furry little problem

Dorcas: for fucks sake-

Barty: oh! yeah nah, i've known for awhile, i won't say anything, not my secret to tell

Remus: im going to have an aneurysm

Regulus: wait- what? Rosier you know now?

Evan: I've known for a while, so has Bat, we both came to our own conclusions, we just tell eachother everything, so

Regulus: what?

Remus: apparently everyone knows about everything and im going to lose my fucking mind

Barty: we aren't gonna tell anyone, Dora and Cas still don't know

Dorcas: im so bloody confused right now, im gonna go talk to marlene,

Barty: ooo! have fun!

Evan: use protection!

Dorcas: fuck off you two!

Remus: im just- gonna take my crisis elsewhere, thanks Reggie

Regulus: uh, no problem Remus...

regulus head canons!!!

he gives me big gay (mlm) trans masc vibes

Walburga let him transition after Sirius ran away because they needed a male heir (she’s not supportive it’s purely for personal gain)

Regulus cannot express his emotions properly because he was never allowed to or taught how so he snaps at people sometimes because he gets frustrated with himself

he’s definitely tried to burn James’ crocs more than once

still has the cat stuffie Sirius got him on his 5th birthday (their name is mittens) but would never admit it (Sirius knows but won’t say a word because he doesn’t want Reg to get rid of it)

got a leo constellations tattooed under each of his top surgery scars

he jokingly flirts with Remus cause it annoys the shit out of Sirius

is closest with Evan Barty and Remus

Effie absolutely adores this boy like she sends him hand knitted or crocheted gifts and baked goods constantly

definitely kissed Barty at some point during like 3rd year to figure out what kissing felt like

lactose intolerant idk why he just gives off the vibes of someone who’d eat cheese even tho it only causes him pain

reads classical work and poetry but also started reading cheesy romance books when he met James and now he kinda likes them but if you ask him he’ll deny it point blank

really good artist doodles on all his homework and sometimes his friends arms if he’s in a good mood

really good at healing because he had to learn to patch up Sirius when they were younger

constantly cold wears hoodies in the summer and hates going outside in the winter

steels Barty Evan Remus and James’ sweaters all the time

biggest insecurity is his temper he hates when he gets angry because it reminds him of his mom

bitch is ripped!!! very strong boy

loves his name because it was the first thing he chose for himself

learned to play quidditch just to hang out with Sirius

way too good at flirting for his own good

shares clothes with Sirius cause they’re both short and have great taste

very blunt no bullshit kinda guy when he’s comforting someone but it works he’ll just straight up tell you to cut them out of your life if they really deserve it and he’s usually right about that sorta thing

does not know how to cook at all

Sirius immediately figured out James and Regulus liked each other and teases Reg relentlessly

Regulus flirts with James so much- James is oblivious James flirts with Regulus even more Reg is worse

Pandora wasn’t particularly interested in rejoining the group, but she reluctantly followed Lily back through the festival crowd. She also hadn’t realised how far she’d walked away from the food trucks. In her frustrated state, she’d power-walked to the opposite end of the path to where it forked. It wouldn’t have taken her long to get lost in this maze.

“How long will you be in town?” Lily asked.

“Just a few days. I needed to escape my family for a bit.”

“I can relate. You mentioned a brother, right?”

Pandora nodded, then grinned. “Evan. He was pretty annoyed with me for leaving him at home. I can’t say that I feel that bad about it though.”

“Are you close?” Lily slowed her pace as they worked their way past a group of giggling children. They were watching a dramatic retelling of a fairy tale that Pandora didn’t recognise.

“Yes, but mostly because Evan refuses to leave me be.”

Lily laughed and shook her head. “That sounds about right. I have a sister, but she’s exhausting to be around.”

“Older or younger?”

“Older. Her name is Petunia.”

Pandora arched an eyebrow. “Do your parents have a thing for flowers?”

“Mm-hmm, my mum is a florist. She has a shop in town,” Lily said, waving dismissively. “What about you? Sirius mentioned that Regulus lives in London, so is that where you’re from too?”

“Yes. Reg and I live together, actually. We share a flat near Leicester Garden.”

Lily stopped mid-stride and grabbed Pandora’s arm. “Leicester sounds familiar. Oh! Is that the one with a William Shakespeare statue?”

“That’s the one! I dragged Regulus to the Christmas Market in the square before we left. It’s beautiful,” Pandora said, thrilled that Lily was as charmed by the place as she was. “We share with our friend Dorcas from uni.”

“I’m going to move to London someday.”

Pandora’s heart pounded in her chest as she listened to Lily explain her grand plan to save up for a flat and hire on with a florist or garden until she could find work in her field. A sound plan, except her dream job was a little niche for London. There wasn’t a great need for horticulturists in the city.

“I know it’s a long-shot, but I figured that if I could hire on somewhere plant-adjacent, that would be a start. Don’t you think?” Lily said.

“It could work.”

Pandora didn’t want to dash her hopes, especially if it meant that there was a chance for this to go somewhere a little further than this holiday. She hadn’t really expected more from it than a bit of fun, but now that she’d met Lily, that changed. If Lily moved to London, they could date properly.

“Remus thinks I’m ridiculous for wanting to live in London, but I think it’s exciting.”

“Have you ever been?”

Lily linked her fingers together and nodded. “Once when I was younger. I loved the energy of SoHo.”

Pandora was on the cusp of an idea when Regulus burst through the crowd and rushed to her side. He glanced between them, then cleared his throat.

“James said there’s a party at the end. Are you staying?”

“Yes, are you?”

Regulus nodded as a slow grin slid over his face. “James wants to dance. Who am I to deny him a good time?”

“James dances?” Lily asked. “Why didn’t he join in at the club?”

James appeared behind Regulus and hugged him from behind. “Because Regulus won’t dance with me. He doesn’t want everyone staring at him. I tried to tell him that they wouldn’t be, but he doesn’t believe me.”

“If Sirius is dancing? You don’t have to worry about anything. That man is mesmerising to watch and even better to dance with,” Lily said, shimmying her shoulders.

Pandora lost track of the conversation for a moment while she admired the woman in front of her. Lily’s little shimmy was adorable, but the bouncing afterwards…merde.

“You’re drooling, Panda,” Regulus whispered.

She wiped at her chin, then glared at him. “I was not.”

“Well, you were definitely staring.”

“How can I not? Look at her! I’m only human, Reg.”

James chuckled as he rested his chin on Regulus’s head. “You’re both terrible at whispering. I think she heard you.”

Pandora looked up to find Lily’s cheeks flushed a lovely shade of pink. A mortified laugh bubbled in her chest, but came out in an awkward giggle. Regulus lost it, shaking with silent laughter as he hid his face in his hands.

That was it. It was all over. Once Regulus started laughing, Pandora couldn’t fight it anymore. Soon, they were all lost to the absurdity of the moment and cackled like hyenas.

Oct 8th - Everyone- Haunted House Hide and Seek

2,324 words

“What do you mean, you want to play Hide and Seek in a haunted house? Are you nuts?” Regulus asked as he stared at his brother, who had just burst into his house and announced his plans without a care in the world about who was actually listening. 

“Just that. There is a house down the street that is haunted and I thought it would be fun if we got all of our friends together to play hide and seek,” Sirius shrugged. 

“And have you already talked to your friends about this?”

“Not yet.”

“So why did you start with me?”

“Because I want you to convince your friends while I convince mine. It will be fun, I swear. Please, Reggie.” Sirius was practically begging as he got on his knees.

“Fine,” Regulus said after a few minutes. “I’ll talk to them but I’m not guaranteeing that they will want to participate.”

“Okay,” Sirius said and he left just as quickly as he came. 

Regulus already knew that he was going to be dragged into this game whether he wanted to or not. If Sirius couldn’t convince him, James could and Regulus kind of hated how easily he folded for him sometimes. Regulus pulled out his phone and called Pandora first.

“Hey, Reggie,” Pandora answered sweetly.

“Hey, Pan.”

“What’s up?”

“Apparently, Sirius would like everybody to join him at a haunted house down the street to play hide and seek,” Regulus sighed exasperatedly.

“Oooh, that sounds like fun. Maybe I could talk to a spirit while we are there.”

Regulus shook his head even though he knew she couldn’t see him. Of course, she would be excited about it. Out of all of his friends, the only one who would probably have reservations about going to a haunted house and playing hide and seek was him. He called Barty and Evan next even though he already knew the answer.

“What’s up, Reg,” Barty answered on the first ring.

“Were you staring at your phone when I called?”

“No,” Barty said a little too quickly.

“Uh-huh. Whatever, do you want to play hide and seek in a haunted house?” 

“Of course!” Barty exclaimed.

“Ask Evan.”

Regulus could hear Barty walking around and opening a door before screaming for Evan and asking him if he wanted to join. He does, of course.

“When is it?” Barty asked after a minute.

“I don’t know. It was Sirius’ idea,” Regulus said nonchalantly.

“Okay.”

Regulus hung up and called Dorcas who had agreed easily considering she was with Marlene and Sirius had already talked to her. Once he did his part in convincing his friends to join Sirius’ stupid game, he went back to the book that he was reading before Sirius had interrupted him so dramatically. It took another hour before he got another visitor at his door. This time they actually knocked, which already told him who it was. Regulus sighed and got up to answer the door, not even bothering to put down his book.

“Hi, Jamie,” Regulus said easily when he answered the door and left it open for James to come in. 

“Hey, love,” James beamed brightly.

“Let me guess, Sirius sent you.”

“No,” James said slowly and Regulus just gave him a look. “Okay, yeah he did but I wanted to come over anyway.”

Regulus sat back down on the couch and made room for James to sit next to him. Once James was situated, Regulus laid his head in his lap and kept reading while James ran his fingers through his hair. He already knew that he was going to break. He was just wondering how long it would take for James to try and convince him to join the game. They sat there quietly with Regulus reading for thirty minutes before James took a deep breath.

“So…” James started.

“I already know what you’re going to say and I really don’t want to go.”

“Come on, Reggie. It will be fun.” Regulus looked up at James from where he was lying in his lap and cocked an eyebrow. “We could try and scare Sirius,” James offered and it was tempting.

“What even gave him this idea in the first place?” Regulus sighed.

“He saw something on the telly about ghost hunters or something like that,” James shrugged and smiled down at Regulus.

“So he felt the need to burst into my house because of a stupid show?”

“Pretty much,” James laughed lightly. “So will you come and play? We can hide together if you want.”

Regulus sat there and thought about it for a few minutes and when he looked up, James had the most hopeful look in his eyes that Regulus couldn’t say no.

“Fine, I’ll come but if shit starts to get fucked up, I’m out,” Regulus gave in. just like he knew he would. He suspected Sirius knew it too and that’s why he sent James.

~~

On Saturday night, just before sundown, Regulus and his friends met up with Sirius and his friends for the oh-so-fun game of hide and seek. Seriously, why did Sirius have to be so immature sometimes? If it wasn’t for James promising Regulus something fun after this game then he wouldn’t be here. 

“Okay, here are the rules. You can hide anywhere inside the house but you cannot go outside. If you go outside then you are automatically out and have to do the punishment,” Sirius started to explain.

“What the fuck do you mean ‘punishment’? That was never a part of the agreement,” Regulus complained as he crossed his arms over his chest.

“I just made it up,” Sirius shrugged.

“Oh, I’m going to kill you,” Regulus declared as he started chasing Sirius around the grounds. 

Regulus chased him until Sirius screamed and tried to hide behind Remus. James had to grab Regulus to make him stop, even though he was still trying to fight his strong grip.

“Calm down, love,” James said as he increased his grip around Regulus’ middle.

“Fine,” Regulus relented and went limp in James’ arms, forcing him to catch him before he fell to the ground. 

“It’s only a game, Reggie,” Sirius said even though he was still hiding behind Remus.

“Whatever.”

Everyone else was trying not to laugh at the brothers’ dramatics. After everyone was listening again, Sirius finished explaining the rules and everyone drew straws to pick who sought first. It was Sirius. While Sirius stayed outside and counted, everyone dispersed inside the house which probably hadn’t had an occupant in it in probably fifty years. 

Regulus and James headed for the top floor and it really was a creepy house to be in. Why did they want to go to the top floor? He didn’t know but it was James’ idea. They passed Marlene and Dorcas who had hidden behind a staircase that would be entertaining to knock on to scare somebody. 

Once they were in their hiding spot which was in a closet behind a bed in the farthest room on the top floor, Regulus heard Sirius call out for outside.

“Ready or not, here I come.”

Regulus chose to curl into James’ lap and make himself as small as possible. Regulus and Sirius used to play hide and seek all the time when they were little, especially when their mother was on one of her rampages. 

Suddenly, Regulus heard some chains rattling and he was not having that. Fucking spirits needed to knock their shit off. Then there was a scream that sounded like Marlene and Sirius yelling that he found them. Two down, seven more to go. 

Regulus heard footsteps and James had to put his hand over his mouth to try and muffle his breathing. If Regulus didn’t have his head on his chest, he wouldn’t have heard James’ heart speed up.

“Are you scared, Jamie?” Regulus whispered in his ear and James nearly jumped out of his skin. Regulus had to swallow his laugh that would have given away their hiding spot. 

“Found you, Barty!” Sirius exclaimed right outside of the bedroom door.

“How the fuck, Sirius? I swear, nobody could see me.” Barty complained.

“Maybe the spirits wanted me to find you,” Sirius said nonchalantly. “Wanna help me find the rest of them? I swear Reggie has got to be up here somewhere.” Oh, if Barty gave away his hiding spot he was going to kill him before the night was up and he would just be another spirit to haunt this place.

“Sure, why not. Where did he like to hide when he was little?” Barty asked knowingly. Oh, he was dead.

“In closets, mostly,” Sirius said as Regulus heard a door open. 

Regulus stopped breathing as he heard two sets of footsteps walking around the room that he and James were hiding in. He closed his eyes and buried himself into James’ chest more as he heard things being moved around the room. 

“There’s a closet over here,” Barty replied and they got closer to the door.

Somehow, Regulus isn’t sure how but somehow, when they tried to open the closet door, it didn’t budge. It was as if someone had locked it behind them when James and Regulus closed it to hide. Neither of them were breathing as one of them rattled the handle of the door.

“I guess it’s locked,” Sirius sighed. “Do you know where anyone else is?”

“Who have you found so far?”

“You, Dorcas, Marlene, and Lily. So that leaves Reggie, James, Pandora, Remus, and Evan.”

“Okay, Dora usually prefers brighter areas and Evan is probably sitting in the most obvious place possible.”

Regulus waited until he heard them retreat from the room and waited a little while longer before allowing himself to let out his breath slowly. 

“You okay, Jamie?” Regulus whispered when he looked up and James nodded. 

“How did the door not open?”

“I don’t know. Maybe the spirits were helping us out,” Regulus shrugged and let out a little laugh.

They sat in the closet until they heard Evan and Pandora get found. Now it was down to three. He was wondering where Remus could possibly hide when he heard James’ phone start to ring and they both scrambled for it to turn it off. Luckily they got to it before Sirius could hear the ringing because Regulus could hear him running around the house calling out for the three remaining players. Regulus put James’ phone on silent and made sure his was as well. 

“Why was your ringer on?” Regulus whispered.

“It wasn’t. I turned it off before we started to hide so Sirius couldn’t find me.” 

“Maybe Loki is haunting this house,” Regulus said quietly before turned toward the ceiling and said, “Loki, if you are here, don’t mess with our stuff.”

“Does that usually work?” James asked quietly.

“I have no idea. I read it somewhere but I can’t think of where I read it at the moment.”

“Ha, I found you, Moony!!” Sirius exclaimed and it sounded like he was in the room next door. 

“Took you long enough. I was starting to wish I brought a book with me,” Remus said sarcastically and he could hear Sirius suck in a breath and could picture him acting offended.

“Yeah, well. The only ones left are James and Reggie. You wouldn’t happen to know where either of them are hiding would you?”

“Why would I know that?” Remus replied mischievously and Regulus knew that he knew where they were. 

“Shit,” Regulus whispered. “Do you think he will tell Sirius where we are?”

“I don’t know.”

“Do you think they are hiding together?” Sirius asked from right outside the bedroom door.

“If they are, you’re never going to find them,” Remus said easily.

Remus wasn’t wrong. This wasn’t the first time they had played hide and seek. They used to play it all the time when they were younger and every time James and Regulus hid together, they were the last ones to be found. If they were even found at all.

“Do you think they are even in the house? I wouldn’t put it past Reggie to go back home,” Sirius questioned and Regulus had to smirk. He would have definitely walked back home if he was by himself and Sirius wasn’t counting outside.

Before Sirius or Remus could say anything else, there was more screaming downstairs and he could hear them running downstairs to check it out. Clearly, the spirits didn’t want them here anymore because that scream didn’t belong to any of them. With the addition of the rattling chains and the flickering lights, Regulus was absolutely positive that they had overstayed their welcome. After everything went quiet, Regulus’ phone lit up with a message from Sirius.

Siri: If you are still in the house, you and James win. That place is fucked up and we are headed home.

“Do you think I should trust this?” Regulus asked as he showed James the message.

“I don’t know.”

James took out his phone and texted Sirius quickly. Sirius would definitely text Reggie to get him to come out from his hiding spot but if James got the same message then it was legit.

James: Are we still playing?

Pads: Fuck no… That was the worst idea I've ever had. We are going home so if you are still in the house then you and Reggie win.

“Looks like we win,” James smiled happily. 

Regulus and James left the closet that opened just fine for them a few minutes later and slowly made their way out of the house and walked to Sirius and Remus’ flat. When they got there, everyone was sitting around the living room and they looked like they had seen a ghost.

“What the fuck? Where the hell were you?” Sirius asked angrily when they walked into the flat.

“Hiding,” Regulus shrugged nonchalantly. “Wasn’t that the point of the game?”
